Singing In The Keys
KCA Junior ~ NEW CHORUS IN TOWN TO PRESENT INAUGURAL CONCERT
Keys Choral Arts Jr (a special project sponsored by Keys Choral Arts) will present their inaugural concert on Saturday, May 17, 7 pm at Key West United Methodist Church, 600 Eaton St. The concert is free, with donations accepted and welcomed.
KCA Jr is the brainchild of KCA chorus member Lela Griffin, who is a graduating senior at the College of the Florida Keys High School, and a member of the KCA adult chorus. During the past year, the choral program at Key West High School was eliminated, leaving high school students with no opportunity to sing, learn, or perform choral music. Lela approached the Board of KCA asking for support and the Board agreed, as it fits into the organization’s mission statement of providing a musical education experience for both adults and teenagers.
Lela has done extensive fundraising, gathered singers, a director, and an accompanist. KCA Jr is now ready to perform their first concert. Please come and support these young musicians. Some of the younger members of the adult chorus have added to the number of singers, to both encourage and support this venture.
Directed by Jordan Sommer, Music Director at Key West United Methodist Church. Accompaniment provided by Tim Peterson, Music Director at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Artistic Director of Keys Choral Arts.
Seating is limited. Reservations can be made HERE. Please sign up as this helps plan for the reception following the concert.
IF YOU MISSED THIS CONCERT, YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR OUR NEXT CONCERT IN DECEMBER 2025!!!
In all of the chaos of life, it is time to embrace love, acceptance and the journey it takes to get there. The concert features several of Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzes to represent love, with Randall Thompson’s Frostiana taking us on our journey. Several numbers deliver our acceptance, including a specially arranged piece from our own Michael Robinson. It is a true evening of beautiful music designed to touch the soul.
